  Julia Lewis Penn Bright, try joining this group and asking the same question there. It is, or was originally, an Aussie based page. Do stay here as well, if you feel like it!

Merritt Clifton If the people recommending knives, clubs, etc. had logged and evaluated the data from more than 5,000 fatal & disfiguring dog attacks, I might take their bad advice seriously.

Wonderful article by Merritt Clifton in Animals 24/7 about how to survive a dog attack. Do read it, as it really brings home the peril you are in if it is a pit bull-type dog that is doing the attacking.
I'm going to try to put it in the files section for future reference.

  Jeffrey Sloan I don't know that anyone recommends a knife for self defense against a charging pit, but knives have been shown quite effective in stopping a pit bull that is in the zone and attacking a beloved pet, and that is by far the most common case.

A break stick is a device designed to open a Pit Bull type dog’s mouth while it is engaged in fighting. (boofhead is too stupid to realize that "breaksticks" are illegal please don't listen to this dimwit or face charges like he's going to?)

It is recommended that American Pit Bull Terrier owners have and carry a break stick17. A break stick is a device designed to open a Pit Bull type dog’s mouth while it is engaged in fighting. Pit Bull type breeds have a very distinctive fighting style and often will latch on their opponent and not let go. They usually will shake the other animal violently when they are latched on. This can cause horrific damage quickly. The break stick was designed by dog fighters to be inserted into the Pit Bull’s mouth and release his grip. The original purpose was to safely end a dog fight. The break stick often is the ONLY thing that will release the dog’s grip. People have been known to hit Pit Bulls with objects such as a bat or even shoot them and the dog still will not let go. Bully Breed owners should always have one handy in cause of an emergency. The break stick is not safe to use on other breeds of dogs and is only recommended for dogs in the Pit Bull family that were once used for dog fighting purposes.

The purpose of a breed-specific ordinance, nearly always targeting pit bulls, was never to “prevent all dog bites,” as the AVMA/CDC states in the 2000 study. Such laws are designed to significantly reduce the 5% (serious injuries) and eliminate the 2% (mauling and maiming injuries and deaths) inflicted by well-documented dangerous dog breeds.

  Jan SmithThat CDC study included a statement that not bites, but fatal attacks, were a breed-specific problem. The nutters who cite the article always leave that part out:
  
  From the CDC report, 2000, page 4: “Despite these limitations and concerns (about identifying exactly which ‘breed’ of pit bull type dog was involved), the data indicate that Rottweilers and pit bull-type dogs accounted for 67% of human DBRF in the United States between 1997 and 1998. It is extremely unlikely that they accounted for anywhere near 60% of dogs in the United States during that same period and, thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities.”
  
  Since then, pit bull type dogs have jumped to causing 82% of all dog bite related fatalities.
